Are you going through a difficult HMRC enquiry? Do you need to disclose any unreported tax liabilities? Could we help you in any dispute with HMRC?

"We understand how HMRC works"

We can help speed up the enquiry process, limit the enquiries to relevant issues, keep costs down and negotiate a realistic settlement if necessary.

Our team of former tax inspectors and tax investigation specialists are here to help. We understand how HMRC works and the legal frame work in which it is required to operate. We are experienced in managing enquiries and negotiating resolutions to disputes. The sort of situations you may face could include;

• Investigations under Code of Practice 8 or Code of Practice 9 by HMRC Specialist Investigations.
• Code of Practice 9 enquiries by Civil Investigations of Fraud Unit.
• Liechtenstein Disclosure Facility
• Difficult enquiries involving unusual or unexpected questions or requests for information that may be a burden or irrelevant. We can improve the situation by using our experience of these situations to open a dialogue with the HMRC officer, understanding the issues, agreeing realistic requests and preventing the enquiry growing unreasonably.
  
• A disclosure of tax irregularities to be made. Issues may have come to a head requiring you to put your tax affairs in order e.g. you want to sell your business and face the prospect of due diligence or a divorce or break-up with a business partner means you will need to make your financial interests public. A voluntary disclosure to HMRC can win significant benefits in keeping costs down, winning the best treatment for disputed items and for reducing penalties. Our extensive experience in this area means we can deliver affordable, efficient and high quality disclosures
  
• HMRC enquiries often result in disputes or an impasse based on a tax technical point. We often find that this is the result of a poor information gathering process. HMRC may have asked the wrong questions or the best use of evidence has not been made. We can bring a fresh perspective to the issues and re-engage with HMRC where relationships have broken down in order to negotiate a settlement.
  

• "We help to reinforce good planning"

  A new offshore tax structure is about to be set up. There can be enormous advantages to corporate or trust structures involving offshore jurisdictions but the benefits can be lost if individuals within an organisation do not understand the practical implications of a new set-up. We often see companies or trusts that have unintentionally become UK tax resident or have created a UK tax presence because of the actions of individuals. We help to reinforce good planning by helping clients to understand the impact of a new structure on the operational roles for different individuals or entities and help to sustain the changes by creating operating agreements, protocols, guidance and staff training.
